ArentFox Schiff Names Aram Ordubegian as Los Angeles Office Managing Partner

“It has been an honor to serve as office managing partner over the past decade and to work alongside my colleagues as our Los Angeles office has grown and evolved to provide comprehensive services to clients in California and across the globe,” said Aaron Jacoby. “Having known Aram for many years as a colleague and friend, I know I speak for all of us when I say that he is the ideal leader to step into this role and take our office to new heights.”

A highly regarded bankruptcy attorney and leader of the firm’s Financial Restructuring & Bankruptcy practice, Aram has worked in the firm’s Los Angeles office for more than 15 years. He has broad-based reorganization and bankruptcy litigation and appellate experience across the full spectrum of insolvency matters. Aram regularly advises financially distressed businesses and high‑net‑worth individuals, as well as asset purchasers, individual and corporate creditors, creditors’ committees, and trustees — before, during, and after bankruptcy proceedings. Active in the Los Angeles legal and business communities, Aram has deep involvement with several professional organizations, including the Los Angeles Bankruptcy Forum, Los Angeles County Bar Association, and Crescenta Valley Town Council.

“Our Los Angeles office is as strong as it is today because of Aaron’s strategic vision and calm, steady leadership,” said Aram Ordubegian. “Our robust team serves high-profile clients across several key industries and has thrived over the last year in particular in our new state-of-the-art office space. I’m grateful for Aaron’s management of the office this past decade and support as we have worked closely together on this transition over the past year. I have big shoes to fill but could not be more excited to step into this role and help guide our LA office into its next chapter.” 

The firm’s Los Angeles office relocated to a redesigned space at 555 South Flower Street in late 2024. Designed by architectural firm Donaldson + Partners, the office includes such cutting-edge design as high-tech conference rooms, unique indoor/outdoor features, and high-quality production space. 

ArentFox Schiff has 75 lawyers based in Los Angeles advising a diverse set of local, national, and international clients in critical practice areas and industry sectors, including Automotive, Complex Litigation, Corporate & Securities, Financial Restructuring & Bankruptcy, Health Care, Cannabis, and Labor, Employment & OSHA.
